Orchard Cottage is also set amongst a semi-rural setting of land gifted by Beatrix Potter to the National Trust, offering both peace and tranquillity with stunning panoramic fell and country views. The house and gardens have wonderful views across rolling countryside to Latterbarrow, which is a fabulous viewpiont itself and just a mile away and the Windermere valley. Many enticing country walks start from the doorstep, whilst the high fells are only a short drive away. Enjoy the outside space, offering rolling views across the manicured lawn and shrubs, where you'll find several patio areas with inviting furniture in tow. Head inside to relax in the suntrap conservatory, prepare meals in the contemporary kitchen, dine around the grand table, and unwind in the sitting room, perched in front of the woodburning stove. Heading to the halfway landing, be welcomed by the master super-king-size bedroom with an opulent en-suite, along with the main Victorian-style shower room.
